Quinoa Pudding

I had high hopes for this recipe, I really did. I love quinoa, and I love rice pudding... put them together... what's not to love??? I'll tell you what's not to love... a pudding that ends up watery and not creamy... Truth be told this may be my fault and not the recipes... you see I used almond milk instead of skim milk... perhaps that was the issue?

Not looking so appetizing huh?

The thing is the flavor was good... it just looks disgusting... and the texture was definitely a bit offputting... I need to try this again with skim milk. If anyone tries it first... let me know! :)

You can find the recipe here. I added raisins and dried figs to mine (mmm figs).

chews:

I must say it sounds wonderful! :-) I probably would have used almond milk instead of skim milk too - I think the almond milk sounds wonderful (I have a total weakness for almond milk... :-) I'm eager to hear your thoughts on the revision with the skim milk, because I am SO excited about the idea of a quinoa pudding!!!

So sad! I saw the title and got really excited! Maybe I will have to do some experimenting. I will let you know if I have any success. Love your blog, I found it via the blogroll. I am excited to browse through.

Sorry it didn't work out! I once tried a no-bake cheesecake recipe with soy milk instead of skim and it turned all watery so maybe it's a consistency issue? Sounds so good so hopefully it works out next time!

You win some and you lose some! If all kitchen adventures came out spot on, it wouldn't be too interesting--I find almond milk definitely doesn't hold things up as well as skim milk. Sad, because I love Almond Breeze in everything!
